Nelson’s Dream tells the story of Nelson, who finished his studies in Britain and goes back to his hometown, southern Africa. His dream is making his hometown better. However, later he discovers a very harsh reality that a lot of people are HIV positive in Africa. Many people died from this disease, and more and more orphans appear. The government doesn’t provide any help and relief. Nelson wants to help the AIDS patients, At last he decides to start a center to help people prevent it.
My rating to this book is four stars out of five. This is warm and touching story, and it has good ending. In addition, Readers can find many positive life attitudes in this book, such as Deniel. Even though he lost his parents and faces a poor life, he still keep optimistic. Certainly, this book also reminds me to cherish my present life. My favorite quote is, “Sometimes your know, but you don’t want to know. The truth is too sharp, too heavy, too near” These lyrics show a truth that people always like to escape reality. The main character Nelson is a very kind man. Even though he come from a rich family, he still concern about poor people’s lives and want to help them. Today, many people just concern their own life and work. Nelson really has a noble quality.
